Heating issue

After receiving heat finally, yesterday, we were able to get some heat flowing to some radiators.  So far we have found 3 cracked radiators.  One in the master bath and two in the halls. The one in the master we can do without since we have another large unit and radiant heat.  The two in the halls need to be swapped out.  Barry suggests not using new radiators but making up the heat with high output baseboard elements producing high BTU's. Barry would build these himself and they would cost 60-70% less than the cost of new radiators.

The other issue involved with this is that there is asbestos wrapping both of these radiators.  We have contacted the abatement company and will have it removed.

Barry is putting together the costs to replace the heat.
